Doopsy SD One Size Diaper Review

Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

You may recall my recent review of the Super Doopsy insert, which is an insert that incorporates a layer of PUL for added protection into a pocket style insert. I had the opportunity to review the new and updated version of their pocket diaper, which is available in 3 insert combinations to fit different needs and budgets. The diaper shell is the same for all three versions, it is just the combination of inserts that varies between them.

The most affordable is the regular version, which comes with two microterry inserts, the next is the Doopsy version, which includes one microterry and one Doopsy insert, and the last version that I reviewed includes a microterry insert and Super Doopsy insert (bamboo hemp doubler included). The diaper includes many of the features we have come to know and love in many popular pocket style one size diapers, including the adjustable rise, microterry inner fabric and snap closures.

The diaper fit my daughter, although you will want to note that it is a little more petite than some one size diapers on the market, so some toddlers or chunky monkey may outgrow it before potty training. As many of you know I have a 99th percentile toddler, but she is growing more up than out at this point so she was able to wear it on the last snap settings since I snap her diapers under her tummy. I would imagine the rise may be too low for some boys of her height or wider toddlers may outgrow the waist setting, although most infants and toddlers should be able to use it through their diaper years just fine. The advantage for petite and average kiddos is that there may be a little less bulk compared to other one size diapers, and remember you can use one insert to have a little more wiggle room. Although you will compromise some absorption, this would work for most people for daytime use.

One thing that I did like about the snaps, which I will note in case it is not your preference, is that the waist snaps don’t skip a snap, but rather are side by side. This will allow you to keep using two waist snaps secured as your little one grows as opposed to style where it skips a snap. I know that there are a couple diapers that I can only secure one snap on each side after my daughter has outgrown the two snap setting, which is not always as secure as I’d like. There is also a hip snap on the Doopsy diaper, so you can still have a waist and hip snap secured on each side after your little one is in the last settings, which is more secure.
